Question 721519: One end of a rope is attached to a winch (circular drum) of radius 2 feet and the other to a steel beam on the ground. When the winch is rotated, the rope wraps around the drum and pulls the beam upward. Through what angle must the winch be rotated to raise the beam 6 feet above the ground?
